Here’s a handy list of faces to go with names you might see in my entries:


My wife, Robyn.

Our kid, the spud.
I did my best to capture her essence in this picture.
Here at Fred’s house, we’re cat people. Dogs, schmogs.

Mister Boogers (real name: Stanley)
The other love of my life. That thing on his neck is the electric collar zapper o’ doom.
It keeps him alive and in the back yard.

Miz Poo (real name: Scrappy)
Robyn’s favorite, and costs so much at the vet you’d think she shits gold.

Skitty Boo (real name: Spanky)
The Forrest Gump of our kitties. He’s not so bright, but he’s always happy.

Spot (real name: Spot)
Our oldest cat, who showed up on my back porch as a kitten in 1994.
He defines the word “scaredy-cat”.

Mr. Fancypants (real name: Stimpy)
He was a good boy, except he sometimes shit the floor.
He went over the fence in the back yard in 2003, and we never saw him again.

Tubby (real name: Snoopy)
Our big boy, who died of diabetes complications in 2004.
He weighed 24 pounds, and we loved every single pound of him.
